AAC is Heading Back to the Northeast

South Central Connecticut Regional Water Authority selected AAC Utility Partners to undertake an assessment of their existing CIS system (implemented in 2010) to determine if they should look at replacing it with one that is just as capable to meet their business needs but is less expensive and does not require as many human resources to maintain. Through a competitive bid process, AAC articulated how the NavigateOne™ methodology could provide the data and analysis they require. The project initiated in mid-October.

SCC RWA, located in New Haven Connecticut, provides water service to more than 115,000 customers across 20 municipalities.
